Justice:
1 the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness:
to uphold the justice of a cause.
2 rightfulness or lawfulness, as of a claim or title; justness of ground or reason:
to complain with justice.
3 the moral principle determining just conduct.
4 conformity to this principle, as manifested in conduct; just conduct, dealing, or treatment.
5 the administering of
deserved punishment or reward.
6
the maintenance or administration of what is just by law, as by judicial or other proceedings:
What is happening is by no means coincidental...
